the lowdown

21. Midwest. Freelance internet marketer. In a relationship. Spiritual relationship with Christ ? Loves lip gloss, lattes, social media, sushi, shopping, health & fitness, etc. Summer baby.

politics

I'm an INFP liberal conservative. What does that mean, really? I make decisions based on intuition and my personal convictions. I have right wing values but believe in people's right to privacy. I hate how rampantly pharmaceutical drugs are dispensed but that a most naturally therapeutic green plant is both illegal and criminalized. I dislike politics and hate how people feel the need to take sides. I choose NOT to vote if I do NOT agree with either candidate's values, and hate when people who are uninformed are encouraged to vote for the simple sake of taking a side. I'm proud to be an American but I do not believe in war as a first resort. Also, I believe that we are not hated because we are free - we are hated because of our greed and inappreciation of our freedom.

religion

My life is guided by Christian faith. I am open to sharing my beliefs with others but do not have a "preachy" nor judgemental approach. Rather, I believe in demonstrating my values by the way I conduct myself in social situations. I truly believe in grace. I make poor choices at times. We're human, and nothing more is expected of us than to acknowledge our good conscience and the rest will follow. That is what I believe.

MEME: 10 Things About Me

By marsadie · November 29, 2008 · 4 Comments · 22 Views

1. I have long, size 10 feet.

2. I have a color fetish.

3. I'm OCD about numbers, based on contextual structure. I follow people on Twitter in multiples of six. I upload Flickr photos in multiples of two. I size CSS element and photo pixels in multiples of two or five. Odd numbers (in pixels) drive me nuts!

4. I never, ever forget someone's face. If I have seen someone before, I instantly recognize them, regardless of whether I remember their name, or the last time I saw them, or if they have changed their hairstyle/appearance in any way.

5. When I'm not on prescription benzos, my facial expressions -- especially when I'm infuriated or bored -- tell all. My expression cannot hide how I feel inside!

6. I was the geek with taped glasses, highwaters, and unruly hair that no one liked in middle school. By senior year, I was hated for the exact opposite reason.

7. I've been doing this web thing since I was 11. Never knew that it would end up paying the bills.

8. I play dumb sometimes to see how naive people think I am. I can usually tell when someone is using me or associating with me solely for personal gain. I'll play along if I think I can teach that person a lesson in the end.

9. I'd do almost anything to be back in coastal Los Angeles in the near future. I had never felt happier than I was when I was there. Not for the people (some of them are awful)... But for the scenery, the lax attitude there, everything. I can't explain how or why I felt at incredible peace in LA.

10. Money and material things are not, nor will they ever be, my everything.

(3) As I've told you, I'm OCD too. When I was younger I had to do "taps" on my legs to feel balanced, in high school I ate foods in only odd numbers (I could grab a handful of M&Ms, but if there were less than 10 it had to be 3, 5, or 7 candies, not an even), and now I get really anxious if I don't clean a certain amount of my apartment daily. It could be worse. I medicate with caffeine and tanning.

(6) In middle school I was totally awkward. By my senior year I came into my own and was thin and pretty. I was too smart to hang out with the preppy girls but too "shallow" to hang out with the smart kids. With the exception of the boyfriend and one girl, my small set of close friends are all people who were my friends in my ugly ducking middle school days.

(7) I think about that almost *daily*.

(9) When I first when to Cali I was in *heaven* and felt the same way. Everyone else slept in 'til 9am but I was literally up at 5 in the morning running around in a bikini, doing laundry and bringing everyone coffee. I felt like I was finally home in the heat and the palm trees. Sometimes I still feel torn between Oregon and Cali. You should come hang out in Portland in the summer though - it's nice.

I did this on LJ awhile ago, I love these.
The same love you have for LA, I have for Toronto. Despite there even colder winters than here in Cleveland, I'd like to get a place there. I love the mix of people, cultures, & something about Toronto makes me really excited & extremely happy. That city is totally 'me' so to speak. I haven't been there since Sept & I'm homesick. I can't wait to go back!

@rostasuicide Home! Yes! That's exactly how I felt. I could dwell there forever. My hotel was beautiful so it totally helped waking up to a huge window in a huge bed in sunny, non-humid 90 degree weather. I'd never seen Trent so happy either, & he feels that way every time he's visited.

@MAKEUPprecious You should do one on here! I have never been to Canada... James went to Montreal not too long ago and said it was the most beautiful place he'd ever been. It would be cool to visit but I can't do cold weather! LOL! Smiling

I can definitely relate to #6. I was always totally awkward during high school. Senior year I had shed my excess weight and there were all these rumors that I'd have liposuction & a boob job circulating.

#8 is completely like me too! I know it's not exactly honest but, sometimes you can get a lot farther in things if you play dumb at the start.
